Move Along Coffee — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

This place is everything people say it is. The guy who works there is super friendly and fun to talk with, the coffee is special, and the pastries are great. I haven't eaten my Korean BBQ Danish yet, but the donuts I got have me believing this is now the best donut in Chicago. Not since the original Do-Rite on Randolph & Dearborn closed and they became a chain has anyone been the best. Donut Vault was close, as were others, but Move Along is special. Sadly, I ate two donuts, but they're so rich, I should've eaten one. Take a bite, have a sip of coffee, repeat. The Korean BBQ Danish will be my lunch, but I'm going to need to put it in an air-tight container, because the smell is driving me nuts and I'm already full. I go by this place regularly, and there is always a line, so expect to wait to get served...

Move Along also has incredible pastries, many of which are vegan and/or gluten free but you’d never be able to tell. They sell out quick so make sure you go early! This coffee shop is like a...

Great coffee; I’ve gotten an ice latte with oat milk, a bit of vanilla syrup, and two extra shots of espresso, which can overpower and taste super bitter depending how it’s made, but the owner/operator blends it all perfectly to be very smooth and tasteful. On all the occasions of coming by it’s consistent every order. Pastries are really good, personally liked the strawberry pop tart. Also, the worker (keep forgetting to ask his name) is super nice, very friendly and will engage in small talk if reciprocated or keep it short and sweet if in a rush. Will never mind waiting if there’s a line,...
